Do you ever feel so disconnected you don’t even know what you think and feel?
Trauma and PTSD can do that. A protective blanket envelopes the deepest voice within and becomes impossible to hear. Feelings and impressions originating from the initial trauma dive deep unable to be reckoned with. Feelings born from trauma can be released safely through the senses. The unspeakable can find a voice without words, which are secondary impressions trying to make meaning out of chaos. The senses are where those impressions are rooted. The 5 senses: sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste provide the avenue to express and release emotions that can create destructive behavior. Creative acts access a connection from the interior to exterior world and build a foundation, resulting in being more present and able to connect . With that accomplished, a sense of belonging grows and an ability to remain present in self...thus hearing the voice within more clearly. Commit to weaving art, music, writing, cooking, exercise, and other creative acts into your day... you owe that to yourself.
